Find the equation of each line in slope intercept form" A verticle line through the point (2,4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got y=2x is tht correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is there a multiple choice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that answer is right :) good job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are u sure ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes im posotive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Vertical line? Like conpletely vertical?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk juan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its more on a slant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is there a picture?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because the problem does say a vertical line....and I'm prone to believing that its exactly that if the problem says that unless it says otherwise

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then idk what to tell u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can attach the question if u like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure please if you dont mind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It just says vertical line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If thats the case I think thats what it means....a straight line going up and down (or down to up for lack of better words)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its x=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a vertical line like this would describe a x = something......while and completely horizontal line describes y = a constant number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So in other words x = a number is a vertical like y = a number is a horizontal line

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

a vertical line, meaning slope=0

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so, using the ordered pair you were given in the "point-slope" form y-(2)=0(x-4) \(\implies \ ?\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

woops, I meant, slope=1 :(

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

wait... a sec

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

it should be 0
